Wonderful news to learn that Sania and Somdev have won their respective matches against quality opponents. Sania appears the have dusted off the rust pretty quickly. Wishing her a healthy 2009.

Buji's victory over Moya should inspire us to start posting in larger numbers in the forum. Sports-India forum appeared to be dead for a couple of months despite Saina trying to do her best to keep the interest alive, but there are few takers for badminton. ;)

[R2] (5) Saina Nehwal (IND,10) bt Hsiao Huan Chen (TPE,162) 21-16 19-21 21-19
Tough fight by Chen, but I am glad that Saina was able to pull it out in the end and move into the QF.
